Gritty, dirty, rootsy Australian guitar guy, formerly of the Beasts of Bourbon. Like a darker version of Tom Petty’s sound, with its rockin’ folksiness. Fuzzy, twangy electric guitars and folksy chords, with chaos visible on the horizon.
1. (3:10) (FCC!: shit) psychedelic midtempo melancholy
2. (2:15) chugging uptempo, travelling
3. *(4:12) driving stroll, sweeping sound, twangy (very tom petty)
4. *(3:42) midtempo creepiness, synth organ, electrified chaos in bg.
5. (2:06) up/midtempo, almost feelgood
6. *(2:58) uptempo, wild abandon, half-shouted vocals (beach-boys-style backups)
7. *(3:48) midtempo minor key, precise, clean guitars yet slightly out of tune
8. (3:23) (FCC!: motherfucker, multiple) Cajun-y, w/ accordions n’ twang
9. (3:26) (FCC!: fuck) midtempo groovin’, cascading guitar line
10. *(3:14) mid., driving melancholy, faint piano acrobatics, low vocals
11. (5:32) (FCC!: fucking, repeated) mid, steady beat, sassy ranting
12. *(2:03) catchy bluesy strut, superlow vocals
